PLEASE be careful with Skarner nerfs...

I've always loved Skarner, though the good and bad. It makes me happy that he's actually better now than he used to be, but I understand why he's being looked at for hotfix nerfs.

Just, please be careful. We don't want Skarner nerfed into an Impale bot again. I always used to love building damage/duelist on Skarner, and now I can again and be effective... We Skarner players don't want to lose that.

So yes, nerf him. Nerf the base damage on his E stun and add scaling, increase his mana costs so he needs to pit stop by his spires to avoid recalling. Just don't nerf him into a tank-Impale bot again.

E max first is a thing apparently. Look at the base damage spike each rank up. Cut it down; it feels clunky to play as if Q does no damage and has no utility because E was maxed. That's the problem E used to have. Q should be the damage ability if E is the carrier of the stun now. I know Q max probably still does more dps in an extended fight, but in pvp reality you get kited at times and want burst.

I still prefer the previous stun mechanic even if it was less instantly applied. Oh well.
